Polly, cocking her head very knowing ly. “ Answers qtiifcb like a Christian,” replied the Squire; “ seems to answer everything, I declare.”' What’s o’clock,” cried Poll. “ Amazing, upon my honor,” ejacu lated the Squire, “Now I think of it,” said he, “ my daughter, Cecilia, has been worrying my life out for the last six months, to buy her such a Bird as this: one that can talk, and sing, and whistle, PH tell'you what I’ll do, Pen ny, I dont want to be hard upon you: let me have the parrot, give me a note of hand for £ 5 balance, and I’ll with draw the distress, and give you a re ceipt for £ l 5 due.” “ Don’t you wish 3-011 may get it?*' saucily replied Poll, as if she under stood what the landlord was talking about; “ Such a bird as that is wortli more money,” observed Macmillan ; wouldn’t mind giving that much for it myself.’’ “ Oh ! whistle and.

In the summer of 1847, Maemillaa, the ventriloquist, had occasion to visit Maacbester, for the purpose of giving his yentriloquial lectures at its differ^ enfc institutions. His attention wfas attracted by one shop o f rather hijtn> ble appearance, from the circumstance of seeing the ewner of it always sitting: at his work, and a groiip of pretty children playing about 'the dcQ?.— From the melancholy bits of hkek a- hout their dress, they were evidently motherless, Mr. Macmillan harned, from the inscription over thj door, that the poor tradesman' wafname,A John Penny, and that he exerjsed the graft of mystery of boot and spe-mak- ing. He was taE and thin, w |ha pale. I'isage, and long, hair, combef straight Sown his^ cheeks. His fow was houghlful, not to say carj^qrhj ljut Etere was an air of meek' .esignatibn »out him that was very\ huehing.— , h e ventriloquist being a pod-hearted i |.n, and having a wife pd family o£| own, as he gazed bathe uncon- you?” said MaDmillan, “ you tremble.” ‘t Yes, I see he'.s coming; he has that fellow Broadman, tha broker, -with him,” Macmillan looked opt, and sa w, indeed, the Squire, his foQt^an, and.a vej-y shahhyi saSplcioiis-Iooking fellow, apparently ah employe of the broker. He had scarcely time to. cast a rapid glance around the deserted shop, and ^all all his thoughts, together, ere the fbarty.were at the door, and had entered, f “ Let them come,” cried Penny, with an air of despairing resignation, “ I have struggled. Heaven knows! as long as I was able, and I can do no more.” '/ “ Well, Mr. Penny,” said the Squire, t blandly, advancing to the counter, “ you i, know, of course, the cause of my visit?” Here a huge staring Poll Parrot, who, with its cage, formed one of the few ar ticles o f furniture in the shop, began to whistle, call again to-morrow,” to the astonishment of all present except Mac millan. She followed this by “ I know a hank.” The Squire and. broker star ed. The Squire, however, resumed: “ You are, of course, provided, Mr. Penny?” “ Alas ! no sir,” said the poor trades man, “ it’s- useless to deceive you any further: I cannot pay you at this mo- low beech tree,' The Squire was electrified. • “ One lapstone—any thing more ?” said Broadman. '* Oh, yes; ten lasts, sundry wax-ends, &c., &c. , ‘ “Stop! stop!”'interrupted the Squire, “ I must have that bird , I’ll take it as payment of the rent in full. Penny will that suit you?” Poor Penny seemed thunderstruck. He hesitated as if he had some com punctions. The Squire observed itr “ That not enough ? Well', then, I’ll make it £20. Here’s a receipt for the there’s five sovereigns. Will “ You don’t lodge here, Mr. Fergiis- j son, with your ninepenee,” added Pi The |i|Mre was delighted.

The sig nal seemed to be given for her depart ure. “ Novk^John,’’ cried Poll, when the corfege began to’ move, drive on gently over the s t ^ e s .” “ John, does your mother knowyouVi out?”' John grinned like a Cheshire cat.

THE LITTLE OUTCAST. BY MRS, DENISON. . ^ “Mayn'E I stay, ma’am ? I’ll do any thing you give me—cut wood, go after B'ater, and do all your errands.” The troubled eyes of the speaker were filled with tears. . It was a lad that stood at the outer door, pleading with a kindly looking woman, who still seemed to doubt the reality of his good intentions. The cottage sat by itself on a bleak moor, or what in^Scotland would have been called such. The time was near the latter end of^Reptember, and the fierce wind rattled the boughs of the only two naked.trees trees near the house. —I may as well go to ruin at wonst. “ Tell me,” said the woman, who stood off far enough for flight, if that should be necessary, “ how came you to go so young to that dreadful place?” Where was your mother—where ?” “ Oh !” exclaimed the boy, with a burst of grief that was terrible to be hold, “ Oh ! I haint no mother ! 'Oh ! I haint had no mother ever since I was a baby. If I ’d only had a mother,” he continued, his anguish growing vehem ent, and the tears gushing out from bis strange looking gray eyes, “ I wouldn’t have been saucy, and got knocked down, and run away, and then stole because I was hungry. Oh ! I haint got no mother—I. hain’t got no mother—I haven’t had no mother ever since I was a baby.” The strength was all gone from the poor boy, and he sank on his knees, sobbing great choking sobs, and rubbing the hot tears with his poor knuckles.— And did that woman stand there un- mo'ved? Did she coldly bid him pack up and be off—the jail bird? No, no, she had been a mother, and though all her children slept under the cold sod in the church yard, she was a mother still. She went up to the poor boy, not to hasten him away ; but to lay her fin-' gers kindly, softly on his head; to tell him to look up and henceforth find in her a mother. Yes, she even put her arm about the neck of that forsaken, deserted child; she poured from her mother’s heart, sweet womanly words of counsel and tenderness. O il! how sweet was her sleep that night, how soft her pillow! She had linked a poor suffering heart to- her, by the most silken, the strongest band of] love ; she had plucked some thorns from the path of a little, sinning, but striving mortal. None but angels could witness her holy joy and not envy. H^Did the boy leave her?' Never ! he is with her still; a vig orous, manly, promising youth. The low character of his countenance has given place to an. open pleasing expres sion, with depth enough to make it an interesting study. His foster father is dead—his good fiDster mother aged and sickly; but she knows no want, The once poor outcast is her only depend ence, and nobly does he repay the A STRICT CONSTEUenONIST. At the late fete given by Louis Na poleon at St. Cloud, an order was is sued to the inhabitants to illuminhto their windows. It was obeyed by most' of them, but as no length o f time during, which tlie lampions should be lighted was expressed in the order, many put only five minutes oil in them,, so that the greater part of the toWn remained dark. The incident reminds the wits of the old story of the Bourgeoise of Falaise. The Mayor of Falaise having one night, run foul o f a citizen of the. good town o f Falaise, (in thoee days there was neither gas nor Oil lamp,) the mayor gave orders next morning that no citizen should go out at night with out a lantern. The followiug night the mayor, going liis rounds, ran against / the same citizen. “ You haven’t read the ordinance, you stupid fellow,” said .the mayor, in a passion. “ Y'es, I have, said the Norman, “ and here’s my lan tern.” “ But there's' nothing in it,” re joined the mayor. “ The ordinance' said nothing about that,” replied the scrupulous citizen. The next day ap peared a new ordinance, enjoining the citizens to put candles in their lanterns'. At nightfall the mayor, anxious to see whether his orders were obeyed, went his rounds again, and once more ran foul of the luckless bourgeouis. “ I have you this time,” said the mayor,, in a fury, “ You have no lantern.” V “ Excuse me; here it is.” “ But candle in it.” “ Oh ! but I hav 6 ; hud here it is.” And out of the lantern ho^ pulled a candle, ’ unlighted. “But it isn’t lighted,” resumed the exasperated mayor. “ You said nothing about i%ht- ing the candle,” quickly rejoined the bourgeouis. So another ordinance had to be issued, enjoining the citizens to light the candles in their lanterns.
